Enabling a One-Time Distribution
You can perform a one-time distribution of inactive, unmodified zone sets throughout the fabric. To
propagate a one-time distribution of the full zone set using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose Zone > Edit Local Full Zone Database.
You see the Edit Local Full Zone Database dialog box.
Step 2 Click the appropriate zone from the list in the left pane.
Step 3 Click Distribute to distribute the full zone set across the fabric.
This procedure only distributes the full zone set information; it does not save the information to the
startup configuration. You must explicitly save the running configuration to the startup configuration
issue the to save the full zone set information to the startup configuration.
Note The one-time distribution of the full zone set is supported in interop 2 and interop 3 modes, not in
interop 1 mode.
